Inflation is here, and it's more severe than most--including the Fed itself--expected.

I'm concerned that the Fed's current paradigm almost guarantees that it will be behind the curve if inflation becomes problematic and persistent.

I think that is important.

I have been very skeptical about the ongoing mortgage-backed purchases.

The Fed's policy is especially troubling because the warning siren for problematic inflation is getting louder.
